Spiral, elliptical or neither? 🍩

Today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the galaxy NGC 2775.

NGC 2775 sports a smooth, featureless centre that is devoid of gas, resembling an elliptical galaxy. It also has a dusty ring with patchy star clusters, like a spiral galaxy.

Because we can only view NGC 2775 from one angle, it’s difficult to say for sure.

Which do you think it is? ➡️ esahubble.org/images/potw253…
